This game made me love RPG games all over. I didn't play many RPG games because I had the idea that they'd be boring (some they are indeed). They seemed boring because sometimes you'd have to do stupid things and so on.
But this one is magnificent. It has a great story and some awkward fight system, but overall it's a system that fits this type of game. You are practically the four-man squad leader. You have different characters along they who might join you, either mages, rogues or warriors. Each character has different skills and different weapons that can be used.
You're the Grey Warden who must defeat the Blight, the supreme evil. In order to see that through, you've got to travel throughout mysterious lands and defeat whatever the Blight might have in store.
There are so many boss battles that seem so difficult. You have to use tactics to defeat them.
The Awakening expansion is a little short, but great too.
